Dmitri had landed a blow alright, maybe not where he wanted to, but it was a blow. Dmitri was now in a pretty good way despite some small problems. His opponent right arm was heavily wounded, but a swing of a sword was still coming for him. Dmitri was now kindove to the side of his oppenent put still infront of him. He knew he couldnt stop that blade fast enough, so he reached out with his left arm and yannked Raln's left shoulder towards him, attempting to turn him around as a sword cut into his rib-back region. Dmitri hoped to accomplish two things with this: get behind his opponent and tear through their hand with his sword. If his opponent's hand loosened its grip, he would pull his blade away a thrust it into his enemies back if possible.
